    Air treatment

    CHP plants and other industries use lime products for scrubbing flue gases. Sulphur, chlorine and fluorine are removed from flue gases before they leave the chimney by neutralising and precipitating the pollutants using limestone-based products.

    Lakes are limed in order to restore a natural pH value and to prevent damage to plant and animal life caused by oxidation. Liming allows most species to return to their normal population level and thrive in watercourses that were previously acidified.
